The annual increments or enhancements, if any, already sanctioned from July 1, 2018, should be subsumed in the 30 per cent enhancement of honorarium permitted now and there will not be any further increments, a GO issued by the State government on Tuesday said.

The next revision of honorarium should be on par with other contract or outsourcing services engaged in other government departments or entities, according to Ravi Gupta, Principal Secretary (Home) to government.

Gupta said the DGP will take necessary action in the matter, accordingly. The daily duty allowances drawn by Home Guards stands at Rs.807 from April 1, 2021 due to yearly enhancements from 2018 to 2021 (for four
consecutive years).

The government accorded permission for enhancement following a request by the DGP.
